DevOps – a new way of thinking about software development!
DevOps (Development Operations) is an approach that emphasizes close collaboration between teams responsible for software development (developers) and operations (administratorshe biggest advantage of this approach is faster, more reliable, and more efficient delivery of software to customers.
For EVILFORK DevOps is an interdisciplinary approach to software engineering that, in daily work, combines broad knowledge, carefully selected tools, and well-thought-out processes.
The Role of Processes in the Modern World
CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery) are practices closely linked to the DevOps philosophy. In software engineering, they are processes and tools aimed at automating the creation, testing, and deployment of applications.
In the era of rapid updates and continuous software development, processes play a key role. Thanks to CI/CD, development teams can automatically integrate code changes, run tests, and deploy applications more efficiently and securely—whether working in cloud environments or with on-premises data centers.

Infrastructure as Code
Method Infrastructure as Code (IaC) allows us to automate and declaratively create, manage, and deploy infrastructure through code. This eliminates human errors associated with manual environment configuration and significantly speeds up the process of creating and scaling environments for clients. Furthermore, the code-based representation of infrastructure makes it easier to modify, version, and maintain, which enhances the efficiency of environment management for our clients.
Cloud Native
We design architecture and manage services using the offerings of the largest public cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure.
Continuous Integration (CI)
Continuous Integration allows developers to regularly integrate code changes into a shared repository. Each integration is automatically verified through a set of tests, enabling quick detection of errors. CI minimizes the risk of conflicts between different code versions, promoting stability, quality, and faster software development.
Continuous Delivery (CD)
Continuous Delivery is a practice in which code changes are automatically prepared for deployment to the production environment after passing automated tests. With CD, the team can easily deploy new features or fixes, reducing the risk of errors that could occur during manual deployment.
Continuous Deployment
Continuous Deployment It is the next step in CI/CD automation. In this case, every change that passes all tests is automatically deployed to production. Continuous Deployment enables even faster delivery of new features, but it requires highly automated testing to ensure that deployments are always stable.
Automated Testing
Automated testing ensures that every code change is properly tested before deployment. Tests can include unit, integration, and acceptance tests, minimizing the risk of human error.
Build Process Automation
Build process automation involves automating the compilation, testing, and packaging of code into a deployable application. This process is repeatable and predictable, which accelerates the work of development teams.
Does DevOps fit into
e-commerce projects?
In an e-commerce environment such as Magento, PrestaShop or ShopwareDevOps approach is particularly useful because it enables rapid introduction of new features and store updates. Automated testing and deployments allow for quick detection and fixing of errors, while the ability to modify and scale resources lets the infrastructure grow alongside the business.
